Loaded Esquire BODY #2401. We sprayed a thin Nitro aged Blonde finish. Aged / relic'd. Duncan Antiquity USA pickup. Premium Ash body (6 piece). Add a neck and you're ready to rock (well, you'll need to adjust the saddles and trem for your neck--action, intonation, etc). 

We aged / relic relic'd this for a 1950s 1951 1952 1960s look (belt buckle wear, arm wear, dings, scratches, discolorations, etc). Aged hardware. Aged plastic. Old school nitrocellulose lacquer finish. 

Standard Tele neck pocket 3" x 2-3/16" x 5/8". We included pics with a Fender neck installed to show fit and string spacing (you may or may not have to adjust the neck pocket to fit your neck); neck is NOT included.

Loaded weight is a LIGHT 5.36 lbs. (raw body was only 4.2 lbs.); when we had our Fender neck installed with Kluson tuners total weight was 7.0 lbs. (your results may vary based on your neck, tuners, etc).

NOTE: this listing is for the loaded body only (no neck is included).

• Seymour Duncan USA Antiquity pickup: The Antiquity Tele Lead will give you that early-’50s Tele tone, but with the high end sweetened by the custom-calibrated, hand-ground Alnico 2 rod magnets. What you get is the classic Tele twang and snap, but with a treble response that is bright but never piercing. Like the originals, the ferrous bottom plates are not wax potted for that classic Telecaster tone that’s just on the verge of feedback. Each pickup is hand-fabricated and scatter-wound in our Custom Shop. We use vintage-style push-back cloth wire, and all Antiquity Tele vintage Telecaster pickups are lacquered and potted in lamp black paraffin wax, just like they were in the ’50s. Magnet: Alnico 2, Alnico 5. Cable: Cloth Push-Back. Type: Passive. DCR: Bridge 6.50k.
